    Ben W.

    The environment was intriguing and well maintained! The menu options are plentiful and all sound delicious! I was here for lunch and we had 9 in our party. I decided to order something simple to take it easy on the server. Unfortunately my order somehow got lost in the shuffle and by the time it ( a fried chicken salad ) made it to the table, everyone else was finishing their meal. I had them put my ( salad ) In a to go box. By the time I was able to eat it, it wasn't very good! On behalf of the server, she was busy and that was my reason for the ( salad ) order. I'm inclined to give this establishment another try but needless to say I was very disappointed!

    Really delicious. Took our food to go because we were just passing through on a road trip to Texas.

    turtle cheesecake

    The food here was decent. Nothing was too memorable for me, but everything tasted good. I came here on a Friday afternoon to meet a co-worker. We came in around 3, and started off with the spinach dip. This was delicious, flavorful, greasy & perfect ratio of spinach & cheese. I ordered the 9 crimes cab and the daily special which was the andouille sausage pizza, and my co worker got the chicken strip basket. The pizza was mediocre, but the chicken strips were really well seasoned and crisp to almost perfection. I was shocked who good these were. Fries were good as well!! We then ended our meal with turtle cheesecake. It was okay, the chocolate syrup tasted store bought but it was decent. Service was great though! Shoutout to our waitress she was sweet :)

    Bread Pudding
    Jayla J.

    Melissa was AMAZING!!! Any question we had she could answer & made great suggestions. What made the service even better was the fact that she knew how to make conversation, even over the smallest things. The food was great as usual. My man got the fish platter & I got seafood pasta & let me just say ... NEITHER DISAPPOINTED. The sweet chili wings are always a hit & I'm not a sweet & spicy kind of woman. We will for sure be back & look forward to possibly being served by Melinda, again! Side note: you can't go wrong with the bread pudding & its presentation!!!

    Shrimp and Grits
    Brandon J.

    Fantastic food and great atmosphere. I love the old jailhouse feel and the lighting. Overall, I do wish the portion size on the shrimp and grits was bigger, as I devoured it in about 5 bites. I would have to eat two portions to be satisfied... but the flavor was great. Also, they are one of the only places that can make me a pomegranate French 75, which I love so much.

Fast forward 30 minutes..No pizza and we were only one two-top table out of barely 3 if that and they weren't being pummeled with a bunch of Door Dash or Uber to-go orders to process/cook/prepare. I walked to the counter. " Hey..what happened to our to go pizza? ". They other blonde girl's response " oh it was in a warmer bag ". * facepalms *.

If you say you're going to bring a to go pizza to the customer's table...DO IT. Don't put it in a warmer/togo/delivery bag and just assume the customer will walk up reminding you of it and hope the pizza is still great n fresh n hot. You charge WAY too much for your pizza's to provide subpar togo- service.

I forgot the cinnamon butter that comes out with the rolls was amazing. The best experience at a steak house I've had in a very long time.

    We decided to go on a Monday night, just two couples. We had reservations for 515 although there…read morewas no one there on Monday evening. The young lady who served us was very sweet and attentive. We started with appetizers, the hoop cheese and bacon dip, and the shrimp scampi dip. Both were delicious and we were given plenty of things to dip with. The rolls and butter are so good. Their bartender makes a delicious old fashioned and our friends wife had an Etta James. We found her to be quite "dilute" but it would have been tasty with less water. I chose my salad to be the blue cheese wedge. If you like a little lettuce with your salad dressing, you would've been very happy. See the photo for the wedge swimming in blue cheese. It was pretty much in edible. It did not have red onion as the menu described. Do I sound petty? I expect to get what the menu says and if you are out, just say so. The other three all got the garden salad, but they had to order a second dressing for theirs. We were not happy that our meals came literally minutes after the salads were delivered. I had the sirloin cooked, medium, rare with a baked potato. The butter was melted, and the sour cream was a bit curdled, which told me it had been sitting under the light for a bit. It was cooked nicely and potato was fresh. The steak was tough but that's the nature of most sirloins. This was tougher than usual though. If you're saying, well why didn't you order the filet, I rarely order a filet out because I cook a darned good one at home. Mike had the seafood pasta. I tasted it and found it to be delicious. He was very happy with the dish other than the fact that it did not have the garlic bread it was supposed to and the young lady told us they did not have any tonight. Our friend's wife had the smoked chicken. That chicken breast should be pounded out evenly. It was entire too thick on one end. At least 2 inches thick. We found it to be extremely dry but the flavor was nice. Our friend had the shrimp plate with half grilled half fried. He was very happy with the shrimp, but even though he ordered the steak fries extra crispy, they were still not to his liking. Overall, it was a great meal, we learned some things that we would not order again. We did find it disappointing that there was no one there and it was 530 on a Monday night and they did not have garlic bread The steakhouse had little quaint cubbies to sit in. We love that you aren't sitting on top of other people Will we go again? Yes. We will mostly likely go for apps and cocktails though.
